Core 4 No More: The Motherfucking Off-Season Thread

[zeke]

Pesce is probably solid but yeah he definitely seems to be likely the worst bang for buck of the UFA dmen.

 

[leafman101]

He's probably 10x better than Boosh/Edmundson.

But yeah, there are a few better options for the shut down RHD. Roy and Tanev in particular.

 

[Volcanologist]

good player but those that watch him say the injuries have caught up.

 

[zeke]

But...Brad should obviously be talking to his agent along with all the other guys.

 

[Wayward DP]

Feel like Pesce’s reputation was built off of Slavin’s work

Don't think they played much together.

But I do wonder about how all the Canes dmen have such great stats, given their clear "volume over quality" strategy on display in the playoffs. They all could be overrated, and will see a drop off with new teams.

But also you still need to be good to execute the Canes system.

Tanev is a ticking time bomb. How much damage can one body take

 

[Artnes]

We all know Brad is going to attempt to blow his wad on Zadarov

Checks all the boxes of what he loves on his blueline

 

[GEEMAN]

Gross. Nsh can have him. Imagine he’ll end up with one of the worst ufa d-men deals this offseason.

Bingo , probably a year away from looking like a beat up Brodie

Looking forward to signing a 30 year old backup goalie for 3 years $3+ mill because of his good numbers in very small sample sizes again.

Reports are he already turned down 4.5 x 4 or 5 years.

I hope we stay as far away from that deal as possible.

 

[LeafGm]

Not long enough.

Brings a ton of truculence, belligerence & pugnacity though!

 

[zeke]

Zadorov was really good in the playoffs.

And the thing is, it's his defense that's the real question mark - he's actually got skating and puck skills in his bag.

Tanev feels like Brodie 2.0, so depending on how many years he's given it could be okay

Pesce, you better know what Pesce you are buying

Roy is the guy that goes to the team with the known smart FO

 

[Preston]

Pesce, you better know what Pesce you are buying

Roy is the guy that goes to the team with the known smart FO

Tanev is older than Brodie

absolutely cannot go with a guy who has a career high of 22 starts as our #1 goalie. no fucking way, assholes or not.

I don't think they have in recent years, but they definitely did earlier in their careers, which is when Pesce developed his reputation as a defensive stalwart
